Plaston Stingray

(UK 1964)

The box featured a 'Playorama Pack' , cut-out stand up figures of Troy Tempest, Phones, Atlanta Shore, Commander Shore, Marina, Titan, X2-0, Aquaphibian, Terror Fish, and the Ocean Door. So, children cut the box up in order to play with the figures! As a result, until recently no known collector had acquired or even seen a boxed example.

The model itself has no manufacturer's markings, so until recently it was mistakenly known as the 'Lakeside Stingray' bath-toy. The manufacturer's name only appears on the box. Boxed examples of this are one of the rarest Stingray toys - I know of only one other boxed example that exists.

Box: 27 x 16 x 11 cm (W x D x H)

Model: 27 cm long
